After racing in karting, Rossi raced in the Championnat de France Formula Renault 2.0 in 2006 driving for both SG Formula and Hexis Racing.[1] However he only scored one point in 11 races, placing him 21st in the standings.[1]

In 2007, Rossi raced in the Eurocup Mégane Trophy with the Racing for Belgium team, finishing ninth in the standings with one victory.[1] For 2008 he moved to the TDS Racing team, taking four wins on the way to the championship title.[1]

In 2009 Rossi moved to the SEAT León Eurocup, a support series for the World Touring Car Championship, driving a SUNRED Engineering-prepared car.[1] He scored a victory at Brno and at Imola.[1] He finished sixth in the standings after missing two of the six rounds in mid-season.[1] He did a few races of the Spanish series, and scored a podium in his one-off Mégane Trophy return.[1]

As the overall winner of the León Eurocup weekend in Imola,[2] Rossi made his World Touring Car Championship debut at the 2010 FIA WTCC Race of Japan at Okayama driving for SR-Sport.
